PSA: Guys always be present and ready for anything when spotting your bro. This dude could have lost his life, all over a set of boobs….

He was too busy getting sexy Snapchat pics from a Tinder date while his friend pumped iron. Turns out, it had serious consequences.

He wrote on Reddit,

So last night, my gym partner and I decided to go on a late gym run to get SWOLE. I also recently met this beautiful girl on Tinder, and we’ve been Snapchatting each other as if it was our full-time job. She’s freaking gorgeous.

So my gym partner and I decide to go full hulk and bench press as much as we can. On his final set of 275 lb bench press, I get a snap from the Tinder girl and it’s a video! As I opened up the Snapchat, my gym partner asked if I’m all ready to spot him but without thinking, I said yes. Now here is where I royally fuck up.

Yeah. It’s bad.

As he counts down to start benching, I open up the Snapchat and it’s a video of the girl with NSFW content, suggesting that we should hit it up tonight. I was completely focused on the 10-second video until I heard a thud and a gag for help.

My gym partner lost control of the bench, which landed on his throat. I immediately dropped my phone and tried to help lift the bar. People around us saw what was happening, and everyone rushed to help as well.

Unfortunately, my gym partner started to cough up blood, and it got pretty bad.

But it gets worse. So much worse.

Reddit, I’m a fucking idiot. I fucked up so bad that I don’t know what to do with myself.

Currently at the hospital with his family and he’s getting an emergency surgery. All I know right now is that he’s been in surgery for the past six hours and counting.

Man.

MAJOR UPDATE* A piece of his larynx was damaged along with a minor fracture? Couldn’t really understand everything that the doctor said but my friend will survive and insurance will cover the medical cost.

I hope everyone can take away some valuable lessons from this incident. I’m deleting Snapchat, never bringing a phone to the gym and ALWAYS respecting the bro code.

I am genuinely sorry about what happened and I hope my friend will forgive me. Ultimately, the surgery went really well.
